Redland Bay WholeLife Pharmacy and Healthfoods told its customers on social media the store would be closed until 9am Sunday.

“We are currently closed and unable to access the pharmacy,” the pharmacy stated.

“The officials have said it may be a few hours before they can say it is safe to enter so unfortunately the pharmacy will remain closed.”

It comes as one person shared on social media the situation was “so scary”.
